TORONTO -- In his best outing as a reliever for the Blue Jays, right-hander Brad Lincoln lowered his ERA from 6.11 to 4.98 after throwing four scoreless innings in Toronto's 4-3, 18-inning win over Texas on Saturday.

But keeping Toronto in its 18-inning game wasn't enough to secure Lincoln's spot on the roster. The 28-year-old was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo following the Blue Jays' win, and a corresponding move is expected to be made on Sunday, potentially the return of Darren Oliver from the disabled list.
